The remote is available in two and eight channel versions, able to control up to two and eight different motor controllers respectively. These motor controllers can be controlled individually or in a group. The currently selected bank/channel is indicated using six LEDs. The remote control can send commands to local motor controllers using three buttons. The following diagram indicates the position and name of the various buttons and LEDs: Two AA size batteries power the RF Remote. 1.1 Bank and Channel LEDs When any button is pressed, the remote will ‘wake-up’ and illuminate the currently selected Bank and Channel LEDs. The remote will automatically ‘sleep’ 4 seconds after the button is released, and turn off the LEDs. The ACS Remote Control can control up to 8 channels individually or in groups, known as banks. The ACS Remote Control has two banks. The left bank LED indicates bank 1 and the right bank LED indicates bank 2 (8 channel model only). If the STOP button is pressed twice and held down for more than 2 seconds, the selected bank/channel will begin advancing automatically. The 2 channel remote can select either channel 1, 2, or 1 and 2. The 8 channel remote will follow the sequence shown below: Selected Bank/Channel Bank LED Channel LED CH1 Left 1 CH2 Left 2 CH3 Left 3 CH4 Left 4 Bank1 Left 1,2,3,4 CH5 Right 1 CH6 Right 2 CH7 Right 3 CH8 Right 4 Bank2 Right 1,2,3,4 Bank1, Bank2 Left, Right 1,2,3,4 The STOP button should be released when the required channel or group is reached. RETRACT STOP/CHANNEL SELECT EXTEND Channel LEDs Bank LEDs South Pacific Electronic Design Associates Limited 2005 Revision 1.6 VS ACS Remote Control - User Guide Page 4 of 4 1.2 Remote Commands Following operations can be performed from the RF remote. • Jog-Retract - Pressing the RETRACT button for less than two seconds causes the awning to retract in jog mode. Retracting stops the moment the button is released. • Jog-Extend - Pressing the EXTEND button for less than two seconds causes the awning to extend in jog mode. Extending stops the moment the button is released. • Stop - Pressing the STOP button stops awning movement immediately. The STOP button should be released with in two seconds to avoid changing the currently selected bank/channel. • Full-Retract - Pressing the RETRACT button for more than 2 seconds causes the awning to fully retract. • Full-Extend - Pressing the EXTEND button for more than 2 seconds causes the awning to fully extend. • Override-Retract - Pressing the EXTEND button for more than 7 seconds causes the awning to retract overriding the current limiter. Retracting stops the moment the button is released. • Connect - This command is used when you want to ‘learn’ a new remote ID/channel with either the ACS RF board, or the ACMC1 board. This is not a group command and it should be used with a single channel only. If the remote ID / channel pair already exists, it will be ‘un-learned’. 1. Select the required channel by using the STOP button. 2. Press and release the CONNECT button on the ACS RF board or ACMC1 board. 3. The status LED of the ACS RF board or ACMC1 board begins to flash. 4. Press the EXTEND and RETRACT buttons simultaneously until the ACS RF board or ACMC1 board status LED stops flashing. 5. If status LED turns off then the ‘learning’ process has completed successfully. If the status LED fails to turn off, the process has failed. 6. Press the RETRACT or EXTE…

OPERATING DESCRIPTION Recreational vehicles and motor homes are provided with awnings that employ tubular motors. These motors are typically powered by ac power from the utility supply (110V ac) or inverters running off automobile batteries. These motors are reversible and have 4 wires: counter-clockwise phase, clockwise phase, neutral and ground. The ACMC1 electronics unit is a radio operated motor controller board. It allows the user to extend, retract and stop the awning using a programmable remote control. In addition to these basic features, the ACMC1 board has several value added features including a built-in current limiter that provides motor stall detection, environmental sensor inputs that can retract the awnings in case of high winds etc. Each ACMC1 board can control one awning motor rated up to 5A at 110V. The ACMC1 allows a single awning to be controlled via the remote control. It is functionally equivalent to the ACS integrated receiver and can operate on both 110 and 240V ac lines (user selectable with a jumper). It consists of an rf receiver and inputs for anemometer control and for safety features like retract on ignition. The anemometer threshold can be set to one of four different wind-speed levels and the device retracts the awning automatically as soon as the wind-speed exceeds the preset threshold for ten seconds. BLOCK COMPONENTS Remote control input: The standalone receiver receives retract, extend and stop signals from the remote control and uses this information to control the awning motor. Ignition input: The ACMC1 can be connected to the vehicles ignition system to detect when it is being started. When this occurs the ACMC1 automatically retracts the awning and prevents it from being extended until the vehicle ignition is turned off again Wind-speed input: When the wind-speed exceeds a preset threshold for more than ten seconds the receiver retracts the awning motor completely. The retract signal is held high until the wind-speed falls below the threshold for a whole minute. Limit Switches: Instead of an Anemometer input, an ACMC1 can be purchased as a slide room controller. The ACMC1 will then stop driving the motor when the limits have been reached Anemometer OR Limit switches Interlock (Park Brake/Ignition) Operate/Enable (Slide) rf Program In Status LED 2 rf Receiver 4 3 Awning Motor (110VAC Reversible) ACS control AC Retract, AC Extend Anemometer Set OPERATING DESCRIPTION The remote control units are hand-held and powered by two AA batteries. The remote can transmit basic awning commands such as retract, extend and stop. There are two remote models; one with two separate channels and another with eight. Each channel may be configured for individual or group control of different awnings. Remote Top view: Block Diagram: Remote hardware primarily includes a micro controller and an RF transmitter chip. The micro controller is from Texas Instruments (MSP430F1121) and the RF transmitter is from Micrel (MICRF104). RETRACT STOP/ CHANNEL SELECT EXTEND Channel Indicator LED's RF Transmitter MICRF104 Micro-Controller MSP430F1121 Buttons LEDs OPERATING DESCRIPTION The ACS integrated receiver plugs into the internal terminal block on the ACS panel,. It adds remote functionality to the ACS panel. As well as protection interlocks Once installed the remote takes priority over the user buttons on the ACS panel. A standard ACS remote can be used to control the ACS receiver. One remote can be used to control up to eight different functions. The ACS receiver consists of an RF receiver, inputs for anemometer control, and connections for safety features like retract on ignition. The anemometer threshold can be set to one of four different wind-speed levels and the device retracts the awning automatically as soon as the wind-speed exceeds this for ten seconds. BLOCK COMPONENTS Remote control input: The standalone receiver receives retract, extend and stop signals from the remote control and uses this information to control the awning motor. Ignition/park brake input: The ACS Receiver can be connected to the vehicles ignition system to detect when it is being started, and its park brake to detect when this has been released. When either occurs the ACS receiver automatically retracts the awning and prevents it from being extended until the vehicle ignition is off and the park brake is applied. Wind-speed input: When the wind-speed exceeds a preset threshold for more than ten seconds the receiver retracts the awning motor completely. The retract signal is held high until the wind-speed falls below the threshold for a whole minute.
